Sir...

The Eagles didn't even win with the QB they went up to get. As a matter of fact, Wentz missed the entire playoffs. That team was stacked - especially their defense. 

The Rams went with a proven vet they knew could get them over the hump. That team was stacked - especially their defense.

The 49ers just went to the Super Bowl with Mr. Irrelevant. The very last player (not just QB) picked in the draft - as a rookie. That team was stacked - especially their defense. 

But the Panthers should give up a bunch of 1st and 2nd round picks to get a QB. Like no other positions matter.

The point is even if you trade a bunch of picks and miss you can still recover from it and succeed. Not that they traded up and took the right player.

I think I’ve talked myself into trading up. I used to be all about trading down and stacking assets but even if we do that what is the option in 2024. Build a great team and hope to get over the hump with Tannehill or Cousins?

Look at the records (at the time) of the teams who made those moves. 

2016:

The trade between Rams and Titans.

Tennessee gave up trade value of 3104.2 and received trade value of 3365!

From the research I’ve done in 2001:

The trade between Chargers and Falcons.

Chargers gave up trade value of 3000 and received trade value of 2376! (Chargers must have received something else to match what they gave up in trade value)

That's not enough reason to not swing this year. 

Fug this timid crap. If you're confident, you go for it.

Is it just me or is the truly bold move the signing of Lamar Jackson?  
 

The draft is the draft. There is a true young franchise QB accepting offers rn….

A franchise qb is never too expensive. A franchise qb will bring in millions of revenue, notoriety, keep you in contention for super bowls. Invest in the now!

I think we go get Bryce at 1.

can i counter bet to say it won't happen?

Have you not been paying attention to who makes up this coaching staff? These are guys who knows offense and knows QBs. If there's a coaching staff that you should trust with deciding on a QB, it's this one. 

Frank fuggin Reich

Jim Caldwell

Josh McCown

Just these guys alone should be enough to warrant confidence in this team's ability to choose a good QB. It is for me anyway. 

I think their judgement on making this move is better than any staff this team has ever had. Conversely, I think they also have the ability to rationalize regarding “how much is too much” if it comes to that.  
 

I'm pretty confident with whose in charge which is good as I have no say in the matter.

How do you know he is a franchise QB?  Nothing is guaranteed.  Trevor Lawrence was the perfect QB that has been good,  not great.  No Lawrence here.  Giving up 3 firsts is incredibly risky for any of these players

I'm going to love it if we trade for the #1 pick and watch this place implode.  Do it Panthers!

Prepare for tons of handwringing over the Panthers holes at kickoff specialist and fullback. Nevermind the hole at the most important position in football, Panthers need another cornerback!!
